If it's January, It's Albuquerque Comic ConThu, 08 Dec 2016 19:49:56 +0000en-UShourly1https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.1About Ushttp://albuquerquecomiccon.com/about-us/
Tue, 08 Apr 2014 00:37:46 +0000http://albuquerquecomiccon.com/?page_id=805In January of 2011 Albuquerque Comic Con became the first Albuquerque comic convention in nearly 20 years. Each year we have grown in quality, number of guests, and attendance. We strive to continue to grow every year to be a better partner for vendors, better outlet for fans, and a better friend to bigger named guests from Comic Books, Film, TV, and other Entertainment.

We host our events in and around Albuquerque and for the next few years we plan on being at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Tina Presley Borek is the Director of Marketing and has been with Comic Con from the first show. Tina is a named partner in New Mexico’s largest talent agency in the state of New Mexico booking actors on films such as Avengers, Batman vs Superman, and Breaking Bad. She is responsible for all of our celebrity guests when they arrive.

Cody Smith Candelaria is our Director of Operations and besides working 3 other jobs she finds time to coordinate our VIPs, assigns our Volunteers and sees to their swag, and organizes our event layouts. She has been the reason we have been able to grow so quickly and is to blame for the smooth day to day operations of ACC during our events.

Sabrina Mason is our Volunteer Coordinator or as she likes to be called, the Supreme Overlord of all Things Nerd. She organizes schedules for all of our volunteers who we couldn’t exist without, and sees to it everyone has a place to be.

David Harrigan is a freelance comic artist who has gone so far above and beyond the call to provide us with the graphics and art we have to include him in our About Us page. Thought we can’t afford him if we ever got the bill for the services provided, he is as much a part of the Albuquerque Comic Con family as anyone on this page. He is amazing and there is no doubt, we couldn’t do it without him. Below is a picture by Mark Sarno of David and his lovely assistant Amanda Unis.

Jim Brazell has been in comics since the 70s and owned the first comic book store in New Mexico. His relationships with comic book legends and his ability to stay current with comic book trends has made him a valuable asset to the booking needs of Albuquerque Comic Con. He hosts his own events in El Paso and Las Cruces and he can be seen selling at conventions with his Pak Rat Collectibles company.

Our in House Photographer is Melinda Martinez Photography. She has been with us from the first year capturing our story in candid camera.

Brian Pulido has created numerous characters who have leapt from the comic book page to the edgy pop cultural consciousness.

Not only has he sold close to 15 million comics in eight foreign languages, but his characters have been made into hundreds of licensed items and his characters adorn the bodies of thousands of fans in the form of tattoos.

And lets not forget Pulido’s publishing empire, Chaos! Comics. Chaos was the single most successful independent comic book publisher of the 1990’s.

Courtney is making her first appearance at Albuquerque Comic Con this year and will be signing all three days. With the New Mexico film community growing as fast as it is, this will most likely not be her only appearance in our state in the coming months. Look for her in upcoming films.

Courtney was the first model picked to launch Corey Feldmans new company Corey’s Angels. In addition to being a Super Model with campaigns and ads for top designers, the 24 yr old stunner started her career as a Playboy model appearing in several issues of the leading men’s Magazine.

She then went on to become a world class DJ by studying at London’s infamous “Ministry of Sound”. She has since become the personal DJ for Corey, appearing w him at all live performances, and even appears on the albums cover and vocally on his new forthcoming album “Angelic 2 the Core”.
